Lost Records: Bloom and Rage features three lock-related puzzles in Tape 1. Should additional puzzles surface in Tape 2, this guide will be promptly updated with solutions. Remember, if you miss solving a puzzle like the Corey and Dylan love lock early on, you can always revisit it using the game’s Scene Selection menu. Use Collectible Mode to gather missed items without impacting your story progression.
The first padlock puzzle awaits in Scene 10 of Tape 1, dubbed ‘Lights, Camera, Action!’. After completing the Forest Girls Memoir in the initial area, proceed through the park by navigating between two large boulders. As you approach a wire fence on Kat’s family property, you'll notice numerous "love locks" adorning it, one of which belongs to Corey and Dylan.
To unlock this love lock as a playful act, you'll need a four-digit code. However, the hint for this code isn't available until Scene 24, near the end of Tape 1. Here, search Corey’s Bag on his bike in the parking lot. Inside, you'll find a Polaroid photo with a caption revealing Corey and Dylan’s anniversary date: August 27, 1994. This date is your key to unlocking the padlock.
Return to Scene 10 using the Scene Selection Menu and enter the code 0827 to unlock the love lock, earning you the hidden ‘Heartbreak’ achievement/trophy.
In Scene 13 of Tape 1, named ‘Cabin in the Woods’, Swann discovers a mysterious cabin in the woods. To continue the story, you must solve the padlock on the front door. Start by examining the Old Sheet on a wooden beam behind you, which provides visual clues for the lock's four dials. The first dial is already solved, leaving you to find the remaining three symbols.
For the second symbol, head to the kitchen area and locate the trapdoor to the attic. After pulling the rope handle and climbing up, turn around to spot a crescent moon symbol on the far wall.
For the third symbol, stay in the kitchen and inspect the can furthest to the left on the stove, covered in spider webs. Flip it over to discover a leaf symbol on its bottom.
For the fourth symbol, move to the back wall and examine the bear trap. As it snaps shut, a star symbol will be revealed on the wood behind it.
Return to the front door and enter these symbols into the padlock to unlock it, allowing Swann and the others to explore the cabin and advance the story.
The final padlock puzzle appears in Scene 24 of Tape 1, titled ‘Riot Grrrls’. As the girls prepare for their concert at Blue Spruce Bar, they need to find a power source. Follow Autumn and Kat to the gate on the left side of the parking lot, which is secured with a padlock requiring a sequence of cardinal directions.
To solve this, examine Corey’s bike in front of the bar and look inside the bag. Find the Pager and check the slip of paper under its clip. Flip the paper over to reveal a sequence of arrows—this is your key to the Blue Spruce Bar gate lock.
Return to the gate and input the sequence to unlock it, granting access to the bar’s employee area. Here, you can find essential items like the Extension Cord, Power Outlet, and the Breaker Panel puzzle to restore power.
